    Netflix is stuck on home and remote won't navigate up, down or sideways. The Controller only lets me shut off and turn on the TV, but it is stuck on home screen. What do I do?

    Top Answerer
    Try to unplug your TV, wait 10 seconds, and then plug it back in and turn it on. If that does not work, try to factory reset your TV. Check your TV's manual to find out how to preform a factory reset on it.
